Trailering the GT350 to the track

[SVTMatt]

Just picked up a sloan tilt trailer to haul the GT350 to the track and back. I have a set of Mac's tie down to use and looking for suggestions for tie down points. Right now I'm thinking through the wheels with a criss-cross in the back.

Will those work?

I cross strap both the front and rear tires through the wheels

On the boss I run an axel strap through the lower control arm and then straight down. In the rear, straps over the excel tube. With the IRS you should be able to attach to or through the cradle.

I have a set of these and they'll work great on an open trailer. In a closed trailer, trying to get them hooked up can be a pain as you have to get extremely close and personal with both your car and your trailer since they are mounted aft and forward of the wheels towards the center of the car.

I've got the BMR Jacking Rails that use the same bolt holes, but I am considering ordering a set and cutting into them to use the same bolts.

I welded loops on the bottom of the car. (Front and rear)
Although my chassis is different, the same concept applies.
I just reach under and snap a hook on it. Takes 2 seconds.
Way worth the time to do IMHO.

Wanted to share what I ended up with. I cut notches out of the BMR jacking rails big enough to insert the tie downs. I kept the holes as small as I could, I use the same area of the jacking rail for lift points.


Trailered to the track and they worked great

I watched @moto load his GT350R a couple of weeks ago and he has some hooks that slide into the frame rails. It made the attachment point in the front very easy.

Yes. I use the T hooks for the front and use the frame mount points that are in the gt350 supplement to hold the front. I cross them to negate any side-side movement. This only attaches the car forward and is still fully floating on the suspension. For the rear, I use the "through the wheel 36" straps" to pull the car rearward and hold it down.
5 long tows and has worked flawless.

Do you have pictures of those welded loops

That works but hard to get to if not impossible in an enclosed trailer...

Bringing this one back from the dead... Are those the Ford Racing hooks on top of BMR jacking rails?

Yes they are

Yes and they work just fine. If they didn't work properly FP never would have made them and used them on their cars.
